That is because they are so dumb they wouldn't know they were wrong if they walked out a third story window.
"they wouldn't know they were wrong if they walked out a third story window."
I wouldn't mind that. The problem is that they are dragging us with them, and we have to suffer for their lack of any sense. And we are aware of why it's happening, but they don't understand that they caused it and could easily have prevented it, if they had acted as responsible adults.
And what's worse, they never learn, despite several brutal lessons -- as in the Perot voters gave us Bill Clinton and launched Hillary's presidential bid, they almost gave us Gore by voting for Buchanan and they just gave us a Dem Congress, which may kill us all.
